Depending on your use, 36v or 48v power supply. I'm actually looking to add a second pokeys57cnc for a lathe conversion now and going to be utilizing nema 23 steppers or clearpath servos.

So I've solved my issue. A slight oversize on my part and some time since I had originally tested device.
BOTH the ext. Cable and individual motor cables need connected. In newer pokeys literature...

So I solved it. I saved my original OS and also made fresh win7 32bit OS. I was still having same and worse problems with new OS and mach 3.
Definitely thought it was a com issue so I tried Ethernet...

I'm having a similar problem. Connecting usb directly to drivers and running motors they are perfectly smooth. Connecting thru controller and running mach 4 they stutter. I've tried every motor...

I'm having some unexplained issue with mach 4 and pokeys57cnc. I am using pokeys60-256 drivers and cables. Motors will not enable. I've installed, uninstalled latewst versions of mach4 and plugin and...

The Z axis concept is not new and actually employed by some manufacturers. The longer spindle mounting plate for 12"+ Z envelope will need additional stiffening to stabilize. There are many ways to...

I named this build " Endless Horizon " as I see it as a start of a new journey that holds no bounds.
Waiting on the final few pieces and dimensions to get this build started.

Table materials Wil...

I believe you are referring to intensifier. There are two main systems in waterjet. Intensifier style and direct drive. Direct drive is less complicated but, seem to take a bit more maintenance and...

Thanks, appreciate that. I came here looking for some basic and reasonable conversaion about components, but people keep unzipping and pulling their junk out.
If you don't mind ger21, I'll shoot...

I'm just shaking my head. I make 6 figures a year, because I dont?

Lol, I don't literally mean using a cnc to manually do anything. I'm stating most principles of manual milling or cutting still apply.
I'm fully familiar with multiple converting and nesting...

Where did you purchase? This is horror I do not want to go through.

Love getting all this information. I guess I'm looking at this in several ways based experience with manual machining. First I would say I am not looking for speed and more of a machine that will...

I would like to maintain .005. I'm starting with stwppers, but fully intend to uprading or make modifications to include a closed loop and servos. The electronics side of this is a weak point for me....

My issue with doing that is it will limit length of part. I cant imagine not crossbracing the frame within the envelope.

I actually use a lathe more often than mill in my own home shop, so I wouldn't think a rotary axis is something I wouldn't use.
Again, I don't think I'm the average diy'er. I am quite familiar with...

I guess it best to say that I am a designer and fabricator by profession and have access to a full compliment of machinery and tools. Waterjet, laser, brakes, mills, lathes, ect, ect.
For a first...

Hi all, long time reader, new to posting.
I've been contemplating a build for quote some time and slowly accumulating my parts.
My general idea is a 3 axis wood/aluminum machine that hopefully...

HI All, As title says, I am an experienced CNC user of tables from waterjet, laser, turrets, ect., but am looking and trying to gain some experience in the hobby side of things. Homebuilt to be...
